4 Utility Overview Medium sized utility system with two treatment facilities serving 93,500 people 4

5 Future Water Demands 2045 Build-out Demand is MGD maximum daily flow Source: Martin County Utilities Water Supply System Master Plan Update, Kimley Horn,

6 Strategy to Meet Demands Use and development of alternative water supplies Protection of water sources and natural recharge areas Water quality protection and restoration Focused conservation efforts Climate change resiliency and adaptation actions Local and regional water management planning Regional cooperation 6

7 Alternative Water Supplies What we use currently: Floridan Aquifer System (deep artesian) Reuse water Regional water interconnects Examples of other technologies: Aquifer Storage & Recovery Stormwater reuse Benefits: Reduce dependence on the shallow surficial aquifer Sustainability through various water sources Reliance on lowest quality water for irrigation 7

8 Water Source and Recharge Area Protection Wellfield protection regulations to prevent excessive drawdown or contamination Land and water management policies to preserve and enhance natural storage and recharge areas (retention/detention, open space, wetlands and flowways) Well siting criteria and use of groundwater modeling Water level and chloride level monitoring 8

9 Water Quality Protection Restoration / Nutrient Reduction Eliminated 70 package plants since utility acquisition in year Septic to Sewer Conversion Program Class AA Biosolids Treatment Facilities at North & Tropical Farms WWTF (2015) Boat sewage pump-out program M.S. POOP Reuse water treatment and high level disinfection (average removal efficiency of 92% N and 66% P ) 9

10 Water Conservation Public Education Presentations /Events(community, schools, CARES Tours) Landscape Irrigation Audit Program Public Messaging Ordinances & Programs Ordinances Irrigation Restrictions Florida Friendly Landscaping Ultra-low Volume Plumbing Fixtures Rain Sensor Devices Programs Reclaimed Water Use & Facility Upgrades Tiered Rate Structure Water Use Accounting (calibrated meters) Water Loss Reduction Program (<8%) 10

11 Climate Change Adaptation Programs/Efforts Include: Asset Hardening Critical Facility Protection Resiliency & Adaptation Planning 2012 Treasure Coast Vulnerability Analysis to Coastal Resiliency Report Properties in Coastal High Hazard Zone 2012 Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan 2018 Martin County Resilient Coastlines Program (in progress) State Statute Compliance Chapter 8, Coastal Management Element amended to include policies that address storm surge and sea level rise per Chapter 163 Florida Statutes revisions (2016) Monitoring Programs surface water, groundwater and ocean LiDAR high resolution elevation mapping 11
